Mac OS X XBMC & DAC, craklings

For information, cracklings appears with the following customizing (System / Audio output):
1. Audio output : optical/coax & Audio output device : Defaut audio output device
2. Audio output : optical/coax & Audio output device : Atoll USB 2.0 drivers

Maybe this can help

Although i heard cracklings yesterday evening while watching a movie and a TV show, situation is a bit different today. Indeed i was watching a TV show, i had a call so i "pause" the playback and after resuming, about 30- 45 minutes after, there where only crackling, not in background as usual but for every sound, speech or not.

Hope this help

Thanks

Please help to understand what's going on and fix it.

We have a complete new audio engine in current mainline code. Its not likly that bugs in the old audioengine will be attacked by us. You could try with the latest nightly build and see if your problem still exists. If this is a problem in the new audio engine aswell then maybe someone would dig deeper into it...

Hi,

I'm aware of the new audio engine, i tried to get informations on the dedicated trhead before posting this one. Can you tell me to get the right build for OS X ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm gonna set a sandbox based on OS X 10.7 & the nightly build you mentionned but before doing this i have a question. When i switch in english, instead of french, i saw in System / Audio Output that the available options are :
- ANALOG
- HDMI
- OPTICAL/COAX

In my case, i'm using a USB connection to send sound (digital 2 channel) to my audio converter (digital to analog). Maybe XBMC is no designed for this ?

In french it is :
- ANALOG
- HDMI
- DIGITAL

Thanks
Nemrod

Don't get that question sorry? Digital is the same like OPTICAL/COAX then...

eh ? "sandbox based on OS X 10.7", I seriously doubt that xbmc will like being in a sandbox.
